I am putting this up earlier then I usually do because I am very busy this week. Hope you are encouraged to pray and seek the Lord.

Prophecy Update: Feb.19, 2019

I believe that we are living in the last days. It is important for Christians to be watching and looking for the Lords return. Jesus said, “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28). What has been happening that many people believe it is the last days?

Here are a few headlines that make you shake your head:
“Pulwama terror attack, nuclear weapons and the India-Pakistan conflict” by: ARKA BISWAS. The terror attack in Pulwama has increased tension between India and Pakistan yet again. It is important to note that India and Pakistan have been fighting off and on for years. Both have nuclear arsenals and Pakistan threatens India quite often that they are going to nuke them. Pakistan believes that terrorism against India will not lead to great conflict. India responded in 2016 but it was a weak response. Biswas went on to say:

“The surgical strikes conducted by the Indian Army in September 2016 were celebrated as a success by the BJP-led government. Analysis of these strikes, however, capture two fronts where they did not succeed. First, the strikes did not succeed as a tool of coercion. Pakistan since has not taken any credible action against anti-India terror outfits operating from its territory which can be credited to the strikes. Cross-border firing along the Line of Control (LoC) has continued apace, if not increased. Terror attacks against Indian army outposts have been as frequent as earlier in Jammu and Kashmir. While major terror attacks have not occurred in other parts of the country, a correlation between that and surgical strikes of September 2016 cannot be drawn.

Second, India did not cross Pakistan’s declared redline for the first use of tactical nuclear weapons or call Pakistan’s nuclear bluff. The scale and nature of the surgical strikes were well below those of military retaliations as designed under, say, the Cold Start doctrine of the Indian army.”

It is important to note that India has declared that they will respond and get revenge on Pakistan. This is a nation with over a billion people and they want blood. The Indian headlines reveal this: “Modi vows action after dozens die in deadliest attack in Indian-held Kashmir in 3 decades” The problem that exists between India and Pakistan is like the problems that exist between Israel and many Arab nations. The government of Pakistan is full of Muslims who plan, direct, and fund terrorism in the name of Allah against India. Arab nations have been doing that for 100’s of years to Jews.

Remember that the first four wars in Israel, 1948-9, 1957, 1967, and 1973 were between Israel and Arab states. The Arab states prosecuted wars, backed by Soviet Russia, in their desire to push Israel into the sea. Since 1973 the Arab nations have funded terrorism and the Palestinian Authority to launch attacks against Israel. Things are different now. When you see God make a change like this, it really means something and prophecy is being unfolded.

There was a summit in Warsaw Poland that has revealed much. Remember with me the horrors of Warsaw. In WW2, 1942 there were 300,000 Jews who lived in Warsaw and the Nazis shipped 250,000 of them to Treblinka concentration camp to kill them. The rest ended up in a ghetto that was designed to starve all of them. America chose Warsaw for this conference for two reasons: Warsaw was the capital of the Warsaw Pact which was the Soviet/Communist countries against the West. Now they are in NATO and with the West, that is very significant and a message to Russia. Secondly, Poland is part of the Visegrad pact that is very pro-Israel. Here is a description of this group:

“The Visegrád Group, Visegrád Four, or V4 is a cultural and political alliance of four Central European states[1] – the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, that are members of the European Union (EU) and NATO – for the purposes of advancing military, cultural, economic and energy cooperation with one another along with furthering their integration in the EU.”

What is amazing is that the nations who attended this Summit were being pushed to be pro-Israel. Arab states listened to Prime Minister Netanyahu (when has that ever happened) and did not give the Palestinian Authority the time of the day. They agreed with Pres. Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu that Iran is the problem. Here is a headline from this Summit:

NO HOLDS BARRED: TRUMP’S WARSAW SUMMIT WARNED IRAN AGAINST A SECOND HOLOCAUST Jerusalem Post, Feb.18, 2019. “The city, once known throughout Europe as “the little Jerusalem,” saw the world’s greatest-ever decimation of a Jewish community. In 1938, the Jewish population of Warsaw hovered close to 300,000. Following the German occupation of Poland in 1939, the population would balloon to 400,000. Jews from in and around the city were forced to live inside an area consisting of less than one and half square miles, known as the “Jewish Residential District of Warsaw” – or, as we know it today, the Warsaw Ghetto.

This Summit hosted 60 nations and most nations sent low level administrators to embarrass Pres. Trump. Reason: they disagree that Iran is the problem. The Arab states that took part are afraid or Iran and are seeking a closer relationship with Israel. (Remember that Ezekiel 38-39 teaches that many Arab nations sit out the war with Israel). This is the miracle. The EU though seeks to continue the deal they had with Iran and they are protecting them. America lambasted Europe for their anti-Semitism. Europe in turn complained that America is in the wrong about Iran. Angela Merkel defended Germany and their deals with Iran as Vice Pres. Pence said “We have the regime in Tehran that’s breathing out murderous threats, with the same vile anti-Semitic hatred that animated the Nazis in Europe,” as he flew into Berlin. This did not make the Germans happy. Israel is being threatened similar to what happened in the 1940’s and the European Union does nothing! The Jews will fight this time!

“Speaking at a Middle East conference in Poland, Pence accused Iran of being the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, adding that it was the “greatest threat to peace and security in the Middle East.” Most importantly, the vice president explicitly called out Iran for plotting a “new Holocaust,” echoing the Mullahs’ own genocidal rhetoric in his accusations.”

The European leaders are deaf to the words, ‘new holocaust.’ They lead the world in opposing Israel in every category, eager to weaken Israel until they can destroy her. All of this is prophesied in the Bible. That is why the Arab states participating in this is a miracle. It is setting up the Gog-Magog war. Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted this:

“What is important about this meeting, and it is not in secret … is that this is an open meeting with representatives of leading Arab countries, that are sitting down together with Israel in order to advance the common interest of war with Iran,” the tweet read.

“The vice president’s speech was met with disdain by some European officials who say they have no intention of abandoning the Iran nuclear deal and felt his aggressive tone would only stir up more opposition.” It is very clear to me that Europe is ready to sell out Israel and they favor Iran. The things they said about the USA were despicable.
Even former Vice Pres. Biden got into the act. Hours after Pence left the stage, his predecessor, Joe Biden, took to the podium to deliver a speech full of praise for multilateralism. “The America I see does not wish to turn our back on the world or our closest allies,” Biden himself offered the crowd a warmly received assurance that Trumpism won’t last and that a more familiar strand of American leadership will return: “As my mother would say: This too shall pass. We will be back. We will be back. Don’t have any doubt about that.” Joe Biden shows the same Neville Chamberlain passivism that the European nations show. In the face of Iran saying they are going to kill every Jew in the world, Joe Biden, the EU, and many more say nothing. They attack those who stand up for the Jews.

The conflict between the Arab states and Iran will not stop the anti-semitism among all of the Arab countries. God said that every nation in the world will come against Israel. That means that even the USA will be on the wrong side. Those who wish Israel to be destroyed are now in our congress. The day will come when they will have power to lead America into this sin. “Rep. Ilhan Omar is waging an unholy war against the Jewish people from Congress. She is about to learn that the Jewish people don’t stand alone, millions of people of faith and conscience stand with the Jewish people. We will neither sleep nor slumber as she uses the heart of American democracy and freedom to defame God’s chosen people and God’s chosen land.” Said Laurie Cardoza-Moore, President of Proclaiming Justice to The Nations (PJTN). Rep. Omar is from Minnesota and calls for the destruction of Israel. How many more people with same views will be voted into our government.

I finish with this verse: 2 Tim.4:8,”in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness which the LORD, the righteous judge, will award to me and all who have loved His appearing.” I am grateful for all of you who read this update each week. You are the ones who long for Jesus to come back, you are looking for His return. You are obeying Jesus because you are watching the signs as He commanded us to do. Maranatha!
